Geon will solve two of the biggest problems small business owners face: exposure (getting clients) and lack of financing. By implementing a simple like / dislike model, and by measuring the number of people that visit the business, it provides clients with a much more accurate view of the quality of the business. To motivate people to use our app, they have a chance to receive a coupon or discount when they like, dislike, or visit a business. The business owners will have control of what coupons or discounts they want to have. This helps small businesses get exposure (with no advertising cost), while helping customers from all around the world get a authentic experience of the local culture. Small businesses can include(Restaurants, clothing shops, pet shops, etc.)

Uses geolocation info to determine popularity of biz. Reddit + Yelp combined for small businesses. May face same problem of customers actually using this, trending with only the extremes - even though isn't just a review. But very interesting in terms of using geolocation with counting the number of times a customer comes in.

Nice job upfront, solid job. (Don't worry about the issues, its Murphy's Law). Work on your preparation, pitch & you guys will be solid. Keep going, lots of potential in you guys, & actual merit in your core idea. (Reddit of Yelp for Small Business. )

Touches on the trend growing in popularity towards fobs, geo-locating and sending discounts to nearby potential customers and push notifications to potential returning customers. High growth area.
You held your composure during a tough presentation, well done.
